Actually there are new innovations in this area where all data is
stored in flat text files that are indexed. These systems out perform
many databases, if not all, with little overhead.

+1. Why all the non-relational love?
Can you imagine building an e-commercie site with a NoSQL database?
The products table would quickly become a god table that is
responsible for everything, and counting products by category would
require a heroic effort. Keeping non-relational databases consistent
requires writing tons of cron jobs to constantly fix the data.
Sure, NoSQL may be better than sharding, but it isn't exactly fun.
